I found this by accident on a site that listed the top 10 celebrity song careers that should not have happened. Surprisingly, Mr. Nimoy was only number 3. If that video isn't bad enough, check out the NAMBLAish album cover:

That whole production was pretty low budget, which begs the question: does Paramount know that they subsidized this atrocity by furnishing the prosthetic ears Mr. Spock's "hobbit harem" was sporting? You just KNOW he lifted those from the FX guys on set and smuggled them to his video shoot. I can imagine the conversation now:

Producer: "we need the chics to look more 'hobbity'"

Director: "Ya, they need like, I dunno, Hobbit suits or something."

Producer: "Do you have any idea what that would cost?! We've already spent forty bucks renting the clearing behind my uncle's place..."

I saw a one-man play that Nimoy put on called (I think) Vincent and Theo. He played the role of Theo Van Gogh, reading horribly tortured letters from his brother Vincent and fretting about what they meant and said. It was decent. Nothing Earth-shattering, but a good concept and decently pulled-off. I think he wrote it, if I remember correctly.
